Secrets of Organic eating to lose weight

Mostly this blog is about losing weight, staying healthy, and working out by the numbers. But one of the secrets most people don't know, is that eating organically makes sense. Lowering the pesticides in our food, can be a great help to weight loss, better sleep, digestion, and help to the internal organs. Your Liver-the liver detoxes your whole body, keeps your blood clean, and helps keep poisons out of your body. This is a great organ, but its constantly overloaded with pesticides and chemicals in our food. Tip #1-find an organic farmer in your area, they shouldn't use any pesticides what soever. Your liver will thank you in the morning. Good things to buy-yellow squash, bell peppers (red and green) sweet onions. You can make a great stir fry with these that will knock your socks off. Lower your meat consumptions. I read a book a few years ago, by the diomonds and they said that when we all pass, we have about 6 ounces of beef in our colon. Wow! Your carrying around six ounces of beef your whole life. I was amazed, but have you ever noticed after a heavy meat meal you feel tired. Thats the trick, the more meat you eat, the more tired you feel. Meat is hard on the joints, the internal organs, the heart etc. Start by lowering your meet consumptions to 30% of your overall diet. You'll still be getting your protein, but a little less of it. Your whole body will thank you.Especially your blood stream. Add some deep breathing to your diet. Moving lymph around in your system is a good think. Make a pack with yourself, to do 10 breaths a day deeply to move that lymph around, and boost your immune sytsem. Try these three things and see a what a boost it can give your body. And for more info on weight loss check out our website My40fitness.com Thanks and be safe.

Was Bruce Lee Wrong?

Most people haven't explored the fact that Bruce Lee was designing his own Martia art before his untimely death. And instead of being based on tradition exercises, passed down from generation to generation, his martial art was based on the truth. "What is right for you is your martial art."He would say. If your short and all the flashy kicks don't work for you, then that is not for you, do what works and stick with that. Many times I have seen a short guy trying to do arm bars, and triangle chokes in Judo class, because one size fits all. Those techniques usually don't work for the short guys. Bruce Lee was steadfastly designing, a martial art that didn't really on maybe. Maybe this or that technique will work for you in a street fight. He didn't like maybe. He wanted you working the techniques that were the best for you. Maybe you couldn't go to the ground, and learning to stuff a grappler was better for you to stay on your feet. Bruce was very rational, and like that to be reflected in his martial art. Bruce also designed instruments to help him navigate his new playing field. Large punching bags, wrist machines, moveable kicking shields, all kinds of things only dreamed about, in Saturday afternoon matinees. Was Bruce wrong, check out my next blog to find out.
